I can't take the above article seriously anymore. So, just for the sake of having fun, take the two articles by J. Pradhan (kindly posted above by memyself) and an improvised version (one below) by K. Shramadan as two terminal papers submitted to Professor Ashu. What grade do you think he will give to each of these two papers and what would be his comments for further improvements. Enjoy. By K. Shramdan Today is the 60th birthday of King Gyanendra. Although the 'loktantrik' government has wisely not arranged for any function and even announced that there will be no traditional national holiday, sycophants have arranged for different functions. This is clear evidence that the age-old traditions between the monarch and the sycophants cannot be detached and cooled so easily. On this auspicious occasion this columnist expresses cordial felicitations for the lone life and good wealth of the King. There are some people, who may take monarchy as an inevitable institution but in fact it is disposable and monarchy for Nepal is not just to show off but the whole world as it is a necessity for the one of the poorest countries as well as for the bunch of shameless sycos. Those who have even a little knowledge of 237 years of history know very well that the contribution made by the Shah dynasty and its kings for the good of the common people is absolutely zero. The accounts from late King Prithvi Narayan Shah to the present date are there in the pages of history books written blindly by sycophants praising the vishnuawatar and it must change in the future. There should be no second opinion one of the biggest contributions of the Shah dynasty is to keep Nepal under a false pretext of a unified country in spite of a continuous suppression of majority of the people. The silent majority is awakening. This is as clear as the broad daylight. King Gyanendra had to ascend to the throne out of his interest because of the compulsive situation to protect his own wealth. When Gyanendra became King, the country's situation was much too fragile and too painful and even scary. In order to further loot the country taking advantage of that situation, Gyanendra, who was just a prince, was made monarch of his country by Raj Parishad. It is the same body in which the then Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala was an ex-officio member. A miniscule population enjoying the ill-gotten wealth and privileges does not seem to be aware that there has been change in the political spectrum of this country as an aftereffect of political changes in several other countries. No one, except this group of populace, is in the state of denial that there is drastic political change in Nepal just two months ago in the name of people's movement II. Even in this political change, the King continues to side with his advisors and the army and suppressed the people's demand keeping the tradition of the Shah dynasty and the Kings before him. Had the King chosen to go with his own people, one cannot even imagine what this King would have become and with what a joy the people and the troops would have marched into this palace with bouquets in their hands. If one evaluates the short time after King Gyanendra became King of this country, one finds that there is nothing he had done for the interest of the country and the people. But there have been concerted attempts to misinterpret, malign and suppress every step the janaandolan II took. This does not benefit the country. We, the people must ponder and come to a conclusion whether this country will remain as it is for our children and successors. We must get rid of him because King Gyanendra is also the creation of a handful of sycophant incomeptent advisors and the army brass and close relatives who are the beneficiaries of this land and keep their monies in alien soil or transplanted abroad.
